TO ALL WHM IT MAY CONOERNr.

Be it known that I, DEXTER AVERY, of Westfield, in the county of Hampden, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Whips; and I do hereby decl-are that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable' others -skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which.

Figure 1 represents a side view of my improved whip. Y

Figure 2 is a transverse section of the same.I 4

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a new whip, and consists in forming the outer covering of the same by threads, which are interwoven like regular fabric,` instead of being braided as usual.

The 'whips heretofore made have been surrounded with braiding, which 1s formed by two sets of threads laid spirally, but in opposite directions around the core. so that they cross each other. Whips have also been formed by knitting.

My invention refers to a whip which is covered with threads, that are interwoven like regular fabric, warp 1nd weft-threads being employed in a siinilar manner, as has already been done for covering cords'.

A, inthe drawing, represents a whip, partly ,or whollycovered with threads a b, of which the one forms "J the warp and the other the'wefti-threads of the fabric, as is indicatedby' respective red and b lue lines in fig'. 1.

The threads may beof suitable color` and material. y I-do not claim anything in the manufacture of the fabric, nor in the mode of applying the same to the whip; but

v I do claim as new, and desire to secu-re by Letters Patentp .Y As a new article of manufacture, a whip having its covering woven with a weft and warp, as herein described for the purpose specified. .Y DEXTER AVERY.`
